TL;DR: The authors argue that resilience provides a useful framework to analyze adaptation processes and to identify appropriate policy responses, and distinguish between incremental adjustments and transformative action and demonstrate that the sources of resilience for taking adaptive action are common across scales.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the vulnerability of 132 national economies to potential climate change impacts on their capture fisheries using an indicator-based approach and found that countries in Central and Western Africa (e.g. Malawi, Guinea, Senegal, and Uganda), Peru and Colombia in north-western South America, and four tropical Asian countries (Bangladesh, Cambodia, Pakistan, and Yemen) were identified as most vulnerable.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed important new research from across the social sciences and found that climate change threatens important cultural dimensions of people's lives and livelihoods, including material and lived aspects of culture, identity, community cohesion and sense of place.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the major discourses associated with four global environmental issues: deforestation, desertification, biodiversity use and climate change, and find striking parallels in the nature and structure of the discourses and in their illegibility at the local scale.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that a tension between principles of public participation and anticipatory adaptation is likely to emerge and may result in an overly managed form of inclusion that is unlikely to satisfy either participatory or anticipatory objectives.
